Nike suspends deal with Adrian Peterson

FILE - In this July 28, 2014, file photo,Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson looks on during NFL football training camp in Mankato, Minn. After a day of public pressure from angry fans and concerned sponsors, the Vikings have reversed course a

The Beaverton-based shoemaker issued a statement Wednesday morning that said Nike ''in no way condones child abuse or domestic violence of any kind and has shared our concerns with the NFL.''

The move comes the same day that the Vikings took Peterson off the team's active roster while he deals with a felony child-abuse charge in Texas. He is accused of injuring his 4-year-old son by spanking him with a wooden switch earlier this year.

Peterson has an Oct. 8 court appearance scheduled in Montgomery County, outside of Houston, on a felony charge of injury to a child. Peterson has taken responsibility for the incident, insisting he meant no harm to the child.
